July 25

“Two thousand, seven hundred and sixteen years ago, within the shadow of beautiful Mount Olympus in the land of ancient Greece, was born an institution known as the Olympic Games.”

On July 25, 1976, to coincide with the Olympic Games, the special Superstar Goofy premiered on NBC’s The Wonderful World of Disney. The special was a compliation of several Goofy short films, particularly from the “How To” series, including The Art of Skiing, How to Swim, and How to Play Golf. The special was also shown internationally, known as Dingo et Donald Champions Olympiques in France.
